A crazy detail is that when our “Hero” is teleported and pukes blood, it IMMEDIATELY starts to clot. This is super lore accurate and is also the reason why when a Space Marine loses a limb he kind of just takes it like someone would a punch and keeps on killing.

Personal addition for anyone wondering: The background story is that humanity spread out through the Galaxy over the course of several thousands of years, then by the 25th millenia, developed psychic powers (leading to possesions that killed entire solar systems) and the AIs we used to make things run went full Skynet. In the 30th millenia, the most powerful human psychic proclaimed himself Emperor of Mankind and made the Astartes as his shock troops to reclaim the galaxy. To run the show, he made 20 super Astartes called Primarchs, which the 4 Satans stole and spread out through the Galaxy. As the Emperor reclaimed the Galaxy he found 18 of them. When he was close to reconquering the Galaxy, his best Primarch got possesed and, with the help of 8 other Primarchs (many of whom ended up possesed too), started a Civil War that left the Empire in shambles. Eversince then, the Astartes have fought to preserve what remains and most of the stories of the setting happen in the 41st millenia.

You probably should have mentioned that these rebels (or whatever they are) are actually doing a great job at trying to stop the astartes. Yes, they are just getting slaughtered but they do employ the best tactics possible for a regular human to try and actually kill an astartes if you don't have acces to tanks. Try to get him into a kill zone and focus fire him, preferably with heavy weapons or just a shitload of soldiers. And yes, it's totally worth sacrificing the guys that led him into the kill zone because if they didn't fire immedietly the astartes would likely notice the ambush (even through thermal smoke) and either evade or just crush the ambush. The other viable tactic is to distract the astartes somehow and then get a soldier to do a suicide run to try and attach a very large preferably shaped explosive device to the astartes armor and detonate it immedietly. These tactics are viable to kill an astartes. And while those seem easy, they absolutly are not. The problem is that astartes don't just have superhuman strength, speed, endurance, reflexes etc and the absolut best equipment that is possible to have, each one of them is also a tactical and strategic genius. And as if that still wasn't enough, all of them underwent a training regime whose warm up exercises would just straightup kill any normal human. Not to mention astartes are pretty much immortal if not killed in battle and as such many have centuries of experience in nothing but combat and war against enemies and creatures that few have ever even just heard of. If you are a military commander and you are expected to go up against Astartes you should treat them as tanks but with the manoveurability of infantry and the modus operandi of special ops.

You can use intelligent tactics, you can have overwhelming numbers, you can have a home-field advantage, you can have a superior position...the Space Marines will still accomplish their objective, because that is all they live for. Beyond all the genetic enhancement and top-tier equipment, an Astartes, at his core, has been systematically brainwashed and mentally conditioned to regard achieving his goal as the only thing that's important. He doesn't have doubts, he doesn't have a 'girl back home' that he's thinking about, he can't be shocked or traumatized, he isn't afraid to die, he _certainly_ won't blink at killing the enemy...and he's been trained for years to instinctually know the best tactics to use in any given situation. The true strength of a Space Marine is his resolve and willpower. There are things that can defeat Space Marines, and regular humans with no artillery or air support? They are not those things.

That makes a lot of sense. With what happens to them after the speech. These orbs are psychics so they have a deep connection to the warp. My bet is they have a deal with one of the demons, a sort of pact to rise against the astartes. In the intro the rebels are described as being defeated. So they are being rounded up one by one. This isn't the first incursion, look at how methodically they proceed in the capture. You look at the spikes they repel the blue psychic aura, my guess is it's a way to restrain them. The captured one has metal bulges like shackles moving around it, disposed in a similar way. The captured orb senses the other's presence and asks who's there. The strike orb then tells him the bad news. Captured ponders about the refusal of the astartes to yield. Then orders his brother to return (to the warp for me). The strike orb then indicates the impossibility since it's too much of a risk for them (probably because they'll have to face the demon and say they failed, that or the huge dangers lying in the warp. I would go for the latter) But the captured indicates how desperate they are and that they have no choice. They must take the offer. (This might be linked to some ultimatum imposed by the demon) What happens next is the process of going to the warp and the marines are taken along. Once in the warp the orb creature gets attacked because nobody is your friend in the warp... The enemy of my enemy is... Well who cares in the warp...

The white space marine helmets denote Veteran Status and are usually associated with Company Veterans, which would form the Company HQ element in an IRL military. There is also the 1st Company of a Chapter, which is comprised entirely of Veterans. The Space Marine with the white coat and laurels on his helmet is a Captain. The Iron Cross looking thing is the Crux Terminatus, a sign of Veterancy that allows a Space Marine to wear one of the few coveted Terminator Armours of the chapter, if the mission requires it. I cant determine if the Marines are part of the 1st or 3rd Company. I guess they are part of the 3rd Company, as the knee pad is one of the places some chapters denote the Company they are part of. The I inside the Crux Terminatus should thus signify the affiliation of those Space Marines with the Holy Inquisition. What throws me for a loop are the white shoulder pauldrons, usually they denote the 1st Company, but they could just denote Elite/HQ status. So summarize: The Captain is likely the Captain of the 3rd Company and his bodyguard is a Company Veteran with likely hundreds of years of service and countless battles. The Space Marines have 5 "roles", usually denoted via a symbol on the shoulderpad: HQ, Elite, Troop, Assault and Support

Not exactly in real life. From the platoon onwards military units are led by comissioned officers in most armies, which mostly means you need to attend officer school. Veterancy will generally only allow promotion to non-comissioned officer status, the highest ranked and experienced of which will assist officers in command tasks. So you can have the platoon or company commander have no combat experience, the positioned attained purely by their education as an officer. This is a bit of a running trope in pop culture - Band of Brothers illustrates this during the Bastogne part, where new West-point grauate commanders are shown struggling to command their troops, and Generation Kill also shows some of this "veterans led by newcomers" friction.

Heres my take on that place the space marine found himself in at the end. I think it’s the realm of the emperor. Each chaos god has their own realm of chaos and the emperor stole power from the chaos gods and has likely become a chaos god himself, so it would be fitting that he has his own realm, where the space marine found himself inside. Also, the emperor’s psyche became shattered into a lot of different pieces of himself, so seeing all those skeletons on thrones makes me think that it’s the scattered bits of himself within his realm. He’s known to occasionally reach out and save people like the sisters of battle or influence battles to turn them into victories, it’s not far fetched that he would save one of his Astartes from the warp by bringing him into his own realm.

13:25 my interpretation of this is that the spikes are a neutralizing agent, meant to weaken the orb so that a bigger team can enter the ship and capture it like the other orb. I believe that the orb panics and reaches out, finding the other orb (thats tied to the psychic) close by and communicates, which is how the psychic intercepted the messages. Following this the other orb says it failed and is captured, so the orb we just found prepares to do the sucking in attack thing, the psychic hears this and tells the captain (or whatever rank) to "RECALL THEM IMMEDIATELY", and in this moment of broken focus the captured orb attacks the psychic, trying to break the connection and maybe give the other orb a chance. We see the psychic lose the mental battle, essentially lose his mind from possession (its not pretty in 40k), and the 2 higher ranking officials swiftly put him down. I also believe that the tentacles were the orb's power, and the black magic shadow thing that hit it was a final attack from the psychic (it's the same as the power we see from his hands when he looks down), which cuts off the orb and casts the captured Astartes randomly about the cosmos.
@zewps950210 ай бұрын
also it's my understanding that the humans on board are being controlled by the orb, which is why a) the Astartes have little remorse killing them (possession has non-reversible damage), and b) why they are trying to capture the orb in the first place. To prevent it from capturing further ships or perhaps even fleets.

The only chapter I can think of that actively mind wipes there recruits is the Dark Angels. If they did actively mind wipe recruits then a large portion of the Heresy wouldn’t of happened. But one important thing to mention is that there is a heavy amount on mental indoctrination with modern Space Marines. The Imperium doesn’t want another Rebellion of marines but mind wiping every recruit is a bit to much effort with to little reward.

I'm pretty sure that the location represented at the end of the film is the Astronomican, or rather its warp-side presence. It is a bright pillar of golden light created by corpses on thrones. My assumption is that the Emperor intervened to break the hold of the warp entity that trapped the marines, dragging at least one of them to a safe place within the warp. The multiple skeletons represent the fragmentation of the Emperor's psyche within the warp, or maybe the only way that a human can perceive the Emperor's presence within the warp.

Hmm this was good one. I had heard some good theories of the psykers as for the orbs. For the psykers the mask and hoods where some kind of psy hoods to help focus their powers and the two being bonded psykers, as they both had upposite hands bound (kinda connected sacrifice). Making the stronger by sharing their power and able to react to each others actions better. As for the spheres one good theory that those are Yu'wath origins as that was xeno empire on north west portion of the galaxy known of their very powerful psykick powers and heavy warp based technology.

I think the orb is old Yu'Vath tech used as a portal to the warp. Also why the praying guy ( inquisitor ) got killed is because a possessed psyker can not only kill you and everyone else in your party, but the entire ship, depending on the psykers powers. Demons can use their full potential. If an inquisitor suspects that there may be a possessed person on a planet, they may decide to destroy the entire city och even end all life on the planet just to neutralize the threat. And he doesnt say take the alpha. Its "who is here* -*i have failed* -*brother, we have all failed, the astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal* -*Impossible!* -*we'll never survive* -*we'll never die* -*you must. Take them

The best way to describe WH40k Bolter that it is Gyrojet. - This type of weapon was already invented and in fact tried out in Vietnam War. Alas, technology was not that advanced to perfect it and the military deemed it not worth to spend time and money to improve. When it worked, it gave insane results (reporting that gyrojet used by SOG group was able to punch through treelines and hit the enemies in ambush behind solid objects that normal 5.56 round would not penetrate and the size of the weapon was even smaller than m16). Most of them got sold to civilian world, but eventually Destructive Device law came into effect, so Gyrojet became coveted rarity today.

Regarding the 'shot' which seems to hit (destroy?) the tentacled Warp entity: I've always wondered if the shot is meant to be understood as coming from the plasma pistol, which the lead Astartes managed to get inside the orb before firing. The pistol exploded and destroyed his hand, but may have still fired its plasma into the warpspace, right at the entity in its vulnerable state. Regarding the end: it's definitely not a different galaxy, at least, as 40K lore is clear that the Milky Way's Immaterium is disconnected from any other warpspace which may or may not exist in other galaxies.

I think it's pretty established that some variance is a accepted but the general really clearly defined rule is that all aspirants under go extreme mental conditioning or indoctrination to facilitate higher acceptance rates of the more demanding aspects of becoming a full Astarte. Some ofcourse go full off the wall warrior priest been little more then human supremacist zealots looking at you Black Templars! The two chapters you brought up are the extreme edge cases the Salamanders actively support their members retaining blood relations or even families as they believe it makes them better at protecting the Emperors great works. While the Space Wolves have a much different belief system around psycho conditioning and especially Librarians that doesn't align with moving away from your roots or tribalism.

Just wanted to add, he says when explaining the warp, lesser satans. That is not true about all of them. In other lore there are things about other powerful warp entities that could challenge or defeat them.

I have a totally different take on this and here it goes. I believe the Astartes who ended up where he did was marked out by chaos. Notice how an automaton loses his right eye in battle, the astartes his right arm. Notice the psyker with a functional left eye damages the eye portion mirroring that on the Astartes. After the conflict all the Marines strides are fluid yet one drags his foot generating sparks unlike the others. And one had the will to get his weapon into the orb. I believe even though the chaos demons communicating "failed" one found an interesting opportunity with a potential champion. Also I believe when he approached the orb, the demon seemed to appear to him.

We might not have any idea, but you can atleast speculate based off all the multiple throne like chairs and withered bodies, it might have something to do with the emperor.
A crazy detail is that when our “Hero” is teleported and pukes blood, it IMMEDIATELY starts to clot. This is super lore accurate and is also the reason why when a Space Marine loses a limb he kind of just takes it like someone would a punch and keeps on killing. So much attention was paid to the lore in this it’s mindblowing. Long Live the Emperor of Man, Beloved by All!
Yeah, I wish this explanation video had noted that, because I feel like that's definitely a question 40K-uninitiated viewers would ask about the blood, since it looks strange.

I completely forgot about that and thought he had super warp cancer or something like that

The black cloud attacking the warp entity was probably the Inquisitor. His 'aura' was identical in the preceeding scenes. Even in death, he served.
What aura ? Which aura ?
Stop talking nonsense and confusing noobs
God Bless. The emperor protects
Yes. That makes sense to me.
@@SordidusFellatio In the scene where the Inquisitor is in space and the two orbs are communicating. He has a distinct smoky aura compared to the Warp Entities Sapphire blue. In the scene where the Astartes are in the warp being held by the Warp Entities tentacles a similar smoky force doesn't so much shoot the Sapphire blue Warp Entity as it does engulf and consume. Stands to reason that if the Inquisitor had lost his body and was now stuck in Warp space that he could as some final act of glorious service save the Marines. Possibly they all only ended up in that vast place because of the Inquisitor. Otherwise they may have been trapped in the Warp. And if you are wondering what I mean by 'they all' I urge you to watch the last few seconds very closely. Particularly the other pillars in the 'throne room.'
Personal addition for anyone wondering: The background story is that humanity spread out through the Galaxy over the course of several thousands of years, then by the 25th millenia, developed psychic powers (leading to possesions that killed entire solar systems) and the AIs we used to make things run went full Skynet. In the 30th millenia, the most powerful human psychic proclaimed himself Emperor of Mankind and made the Astartes as his shock troops to reclaim the galaxy. To run the show, he made 20 super Astartes called Primarchs, which the 4 Satans stole and spread out through the Galaxy. As the Emperor reclaimed the Galaxy he found 18 of them. When he was close to reconquering the Galaxy, his best Primarch got possesed and, with the help of 8 other Primarchs (many of whom ended up possesed too), started a Civil War that left the Empire in shambles. Eversince then, the Astartes have fought to preserve what remains and most of the stories of the setting happen in the 41st millenia.
Thank you for this. I’m really starting to get into the 40K universe since the release of Darktide. I’m hoping to start reading the books soon, but it’s so hard to figure out where to start. This video is a great jumping off point.
I love how succinct “the most powerful human psychic declared himself Emperor” is. Really boils it down without all the aggrandizing mythology.
@@muddlewait8844 near heresy tbh
All 20 were found, no? It's just that the records of 2 of them were expunged at the same time as their Legions were erased.
@TzunSu Yeah, you're right, but I was trying to boil things down to the bare minimum, and I think that was starting to go into details
You probably should have mentioned that these rebels (or whatever they are) are actually doing a great job at trying to stop the astartes. Yes, they are just getting slaughtered but they do employ the best tactics possible for a regular human to try and actually kill an astartes if you don't have acces to tanks. Try to get him into a kill zone and focus fire him, preferably with heavy weapons or just a shitload of soldiers. And yes, it's totally worth sacrificing the guys that led him into the kill zone because if they didn't fire immedietly the astartes would likely notice the ambush (even through thermal smoke) and either evade or just crush the ambush. The other viable tactic is to distract the astartes somehow and then get a soldier to do a suicide run to try and attach a very large preferably shaped explosive device to the astartes armor and detonate it immedietly. These tactics are viable to kill an astartes. And while those seem easy, they absolutly are not. The problem is that astartes don't just have superhuman strength, speed, endurance, reflexes etc and the absolut best equipment that is possible to have, each one of them is also a tactical and strategic genius. And as if that still wasn't enough, all of them underwent a training regime whose warm up exercises would just straightup kill any normal human. Not to mention astartes are pretty much immortal if not killed in battle and as such many have centuries of experience in nothing but combat and war against enemies and creatures that few have ever even just heard of. If you are a military commander and you are expected to go up against Astartes you should treat them as tanks but with the manoveurability of infantry and the modus operandi of special ops.
Legendary comment
Not really any reason to mention that this is about 40k not basic military tactics.
You can use intelligent tactics, you can have overwhelming numbers, you can have a home-field advantage, you can have a superior position...the Space Marines will still accomplish their objective, because that is all they live for. Beyond all the genetic enhancement and top-tier equipment, an Astartes, at his core, has been systematically brainwashed and mentally conditioned to regard achieving his goal as the only thing that's important. He doesn't have doubts, he doesn't have a 'girl back home' that he's thinking about, he can't be shocked or traumatized, he isn't afraid to die, he _certainly_ won't blink at killing the enemy...and he's been trained for years to instinctually know the best tactics to use in any given situation. The true strength of a Space Marine is his resolve and willpower. There are things that can defeat Space Marines, and regular humans with no artillery or air support? They are not those things.

On his patreon, the creator has stated that these are nobles from the rebelling planet with augments to enhance their psyker abilities (they are not as powerful as we saw them without their augments). Also their masks they're wearing are ceremonial.
And he also clarified that the "black smoke" helping release Astartes from warp orb was warp entities in the warp.

still hearing '' we must take the alpha'' (the psyker)
The animator did an AMA on reddit ages ago…he regretted not putting in subtitles! The orb says: “You must. Take them.” As in: ‘You must’ - break your seal. ‘Take them’ - kidnap the thic bois surrounding you and take ‘em with you. That’s when the inquisitor turns to the veteran fella and says “recall them immediately” - it’s really muffled though. Hope that helps
@@asherfaulkner5696 "We must" - do this, and survive. "Take the offering" - the sacrificial astartes, which it did.
@@Foxstab no they said "take them"
That makes a lot of sense. With what happens to them after the speech. These orbs are psychics so they have a deep connection to the warp. My bet is they have a deal with one of the demons, a sort of pact to rise against the astartes. In the intro the rebels are described as being defeated. So they are being rounded up one by one. This isn't the first incursion, look at how methodically they proceed in the capture. You look at the spikes they repel the blue psychic aura, my guess is it's a way to restrain them. The captured one has metal bulges like shackles moving around it, disposed in a similar way. The captured orb senses the other's presence and asks who's there. The strike orb then tells him the bad news. Captured ponders about the refusal of the astartes to yield. Then orders his brother to return (to the warp for me). The strike orb then indicates the impossibility since it's too much of a risk for them (probably because they'll have to face the demon and say they failed, that or the huge dangers lying in the warp. I would go for the latter) But the captured indicates how desperate they are and that they have no choice. They must take the offer. (This might be linked to some ultimatum imposed by the demon) What happens next is the process of going to the warp and the marines are taken along. Once in the warp the orb creature gets attacked because nobody is your friend in the warp... The enemy of my enemy is... Well who cares in the warp...
The most devastating thing about the Emperor's Angels of death is not the fact they are 9 feet tall weigh 600-900 pds if pure muscle, not that they have 9 or 12 new organs planted inside of them including two hearts, not that they can fight for months without true sleep (half their brain will sleep while the other half is awake and fully combat effective, not the strength of speed that makes Captain America seem like a child in comparison, he'll it's not even that they can eat inorganic matter to sustain themselves or eat parts of the recently dead to gain their memories, NOT EVEN BEING ABLE TO SPIT ACID. What makes them such a force of nature is in the way these sons of Demigods move as one. That's what this creator got spot on. It is not about the individual, it is all about the unit or team. They act and think as one making them unstoppable juggernauts of The Throne! The Emperors wrath made manifest.
wow there is so much to know about this universe, i played warhammer 40k dawn of war 15-20 years ago and there is still much i have no idea about.
@8 bit Romania I got into it by reading the books initially and just looking at the fractions lore on warhammer wiki. Just recently I started painting models. I don't think I will play , but the painting is very relaxing.
Those Astartes are clearly Grey Knights, the fighting force of the Chapter of the Ordo Malleus of the Inquistion who specialize in hunting daemons and chaos creatures. Their rather plain, silver-grey armour is pretty iconic. It explains how they could so easily shake off the psychic attacks, as the Grey Knights are usually psykers themselves.
I cant wait to see this animators take on primary and specialist astarties like death watch, gray knights, custodies, primary marines, etc. Or even primearchs as we all know Lionel Johnson is back in the fold now
Those angels strength is their fanbase. More doesn't make better, they act slow, under powered * and let's face it any puking human SPITS ACID * if you want a VO2 max of a horse you need the head of a horse
My theory it is a daemonworld, a world pulled into the Warp from realspace that doesn't follow the material universe's rules any longer. Also, travel through the Warp leads to issues with time as we know it. Seconds could be centuries in realspace and vice versa. Hell, you could go full time-paradox and go back in time before you left upon exiting. An ork warboss did just that and searched for his past self to kill so he could have two of his favorite gun. He did just that with no issues because he was too stupid to realize the signifigance of it.

One should not forget, that the Inquisitor that was communicating with the orb, was probably the highest ranking officer on that ship. A human inquisitor's authority is above most Astartes and can command them to do as he wants. Basically they are untouchable.... unless turning to demon due corruption.
I doubt that was the inquisitor, they usually have an entire team of subservients for them to use, psykers and astropaths chief among them
@@agrape2887 wearing the inquisitional badge without permission is heresy.... Probably other team members in the ship
Are there seriously like no ranks within Inquisition , as if all of them , every single one of them are equal ? Because each time someone bring up an Inquisition in the discussion, it’s always as is if they’re second only to God of mankind himself and they’re the most absolute of the absolute , and literally nothing can say no or yes to them because they themselves decide whether it’s a no or yet , but then , who ? Who is it between themselves that decide what’s wrong and what’s right , what to do and not to do , if all of them are equally powerful as the rest of the Inquisitor . I also am aware that there’s three branch of the Inquisition .. so there’s that . There’s so little information about them , hell even the most secretive Grey Knights that apparently murder everyone and everything that slightly saw them have more information toward them in the lore
@@SordidusFellatio yeah thats a bit confusing. But i remember somewhere i read that even the grey knights answer to some inquisitiors. However it is so that any inquisitor is above all other non inquisitors in the imperium.

Holy shit, I thought that was the Astartes in hallway that opened a door into the dark room and shot them but you are correct. The amount of details to make this perfection is astounding, I truly believe that it is basically impossible to make a better warhammer 40K video from now on based on this.

It is kind of hillarious that in a situation where in many other movies some agile little monster would ambush out of the tight dark corridor here we have a 2,5m large, metric tons heavy (with armour) superhuman killer machine sneaking up to them. A small reminder that Space Marines have surprising stealth qualities.
That's a GREAT catch!
Great catch
The white space marine helmets denote Veteran Status and are usually associated with Company Veterans, which would form the Company HQ element in an IRL military. There is also the 1st Company of a Chapter, which is comprised entirely of Veterans. The Space Marine with the white coat and laurels on his helmet is a Captain. The Iron Cross looking thing is the Crux Terminatus, a sign of Veterancy that allows a Space Marine to wear one of the few coveted Terminator Armours of the chapter, if the mission requires it. I cant determine if the Marines are part of the 1st or 3rd Company. I guess they are part of the 3rd Company, as the knee pad is one of the places some chapters denote the Company they are part of. The I inside the Crux Terminatus should thus signify the affiliation of those Space Marines with the Holy Inquisition. What throws me for a loop are the white shoulder pauldrons, usually they denote the 1st Company, but they could just denote Elite/HQ status. So summarize: The Captain is likely the Captain of the 3rd Company and his bodyguard is a Company Veteran with likely hundreds of years of service and countless battles. The Space Marines have 5 "roles", usually denoted via a symbol on the shoulderpad: HQ, Elite, Troop, Assault and Support
I was going to say something similar, but that depends on this chapter being fully codex-compliant. The tactical symbols on the squad's shoulder-pads says they're not as way out there as the Wolves, but they might be similar to DA or BA, *mostly* compliant, but with differences, such as different veteran markings, or different company markings.
Not exactly in real life. From the platoon onwards military units are led by comissioned officers in most armies, which mostly means you need to attend officer school. Veterancy will generally only allow promotion to non-comissioned officer status, the highest ranked and experienced of which will assist officers in command tasks. So you can have the platoon or company commander have no combat experience, the positioned attained purely by their education as an officer. This is a bit of a running trope in pop culture - Band of Brothers illustrates this during the Bastogne part, where new West-point grauate commanders are shown struggling to command their troops, and Generation Kill also shows some of this "veterans led by newcomers" friction.
"500 Astartes would be considered overkill. . . IF we were prepared" that got me good 😂

The final scene backdrop was inspired from the artwork of polish artist Zdzisław Beksiński. Check out his works. Syama Pedersen is a very talented individual and I can not wait for his next body of work. The dual scene from the fourth episode is worthy of an award. Pacing, continuity, editing and sheer awesomeness. He is an artist that is going to go places.

Judging by the shape of the craft and the melta's firing from the top, it was probably a Caestus Assault Ram rather than a Boarding Torpedo. The later look more like TBM's with a rocket at the back.
That's what I thought when I first watched it go in years ago but it's more likely a take on a Shark Assault Boat the Caestus Assault Ram is just so much larger than what we see but does have a very similar method of both approach & breaching in application.
The microrockets followed by the melta confirms it as a Caestus

"React 3 times faster" that's putting it lightly chief
Heres my take on that place the space marine found himself in at the end. I think it’s the realm of the emperor. Each chaos god has their own realm of chaos and the emperor stole power from the chaos gods and has likely become a chaos god himself, so it would be fitting that he has his own realm, where the space marine found himself inside. Also, the emperor’s psyche became shattered into a lot of different pieces of himself, so seeing all those skeletons on thrones makes me think that it’s the scattered bits of himself within his realm. He’s known to occasionally reach out and save people like the sisters of battle or influence battles to turn them into victories, it’s not far fetched that he would save one of his Astartes from the warp by bringing him into his own realm.
cool fan theory on a fan fic vid.
dont forget that all 5 of the astartes made it to that death realm....you can see bright flashes of light on the other pylons where they warped in

@@neliusbresnan3766 man stop that now you can admit he is a god
13:25 my interpretation of this is that the spikes are a neutralizing agent, meant to weaken the orb so that a bigger team can enter the ship and capture it like the other orb. I believe that the orb panics and reaches out, finding the other orb (thats tied to the psychic) close by and communicates, which is how the psychic intercepted the messages. Following this the other orb says it failed and is captured, so the orb we just found prepares to do the sucking in attack thing, the psychic hears this and tells the captain (or whatever rank) to "RECALL THEM IMMEDIATELY", and in this moment of broken focus the captured orb attacks the psychic, trying to break the connection and maybe give the other orb a chance. We see the psychic lose the mental battle, essentially lose his mind from possession (its not pretty in 40k), and the 2 higher ranking officials swiftly put him down. I also believe that the tentacles were the orb's power, and the black magic shadow thing that hit it was a final attack from the psychic (it's the same as the power we see from his hands when he looks down), which cuts off the orb and casts the captured Astartes randomly about the cosmos.
also it's my understanding that the humans on board are being controlled by the orb, which is why a) the Astartes have little remorse killing them (possession has non-reversible damage), and b) why they are trying to capture the orb in the first place. To prevent it from capturing further ships or perhaps even fleets.
Pretty good summary in my opinion. The psyker attacking the orb in the warp in a last stand kind of thing didn’t really cross my mind until you and others pointed it out in these comments. Adds a lot of personality and character to him whereas i just saw him as some weird dude just getting taken over by demons. A lot of details in this video that takes multiple viewings to see.
Nice theory , I was guessing blackstone injectors. Unfortunately think the inquisitor psyker was devoured when his face lit up (comparably to how the Emperor feeds) and the black wispy smoke I believe denotes humanoid psyker energy. So, my hope is it was the Emperor that blasted the entity and saved as well as transported his blessed Astartes to his realm in the immaterium with his fractured self(how he became the corpse on the throne wuth that many iterations), because as they say, "and they shall know no fear" and you know most importantly "the Emperor protects".
Also fun fact: the suits of armor the Space Marines wear are technically just suped up biohazard suits from the Dark Age of Technology. Can't even imagine what the actual combat suits from that period were like.
I imagine a cross between Master Chief's armor ... and the TARDIS.
@@mackenzles yooo you got a bit too far with that one, TARDISes are too OP, even for warhammer
This sounds like the "Terminator armour was just radiation suits from DAoT" misinfo applied generally to the Astartes Power Armour as a whole. Astartes power armour could be as good as souped up DAoT biohazard suits, who knows, but I'm pretty sure we know that they were made beginning with the Thunder Warrior's Thunder patter armor.
Human combat technology was so advanced the ORKS sued for peace.
If I were to guess, probably not as good as the emperor's golden boys but pretty dangerous still.
Not all Astartes minds are wiped. In the Novel "The Emperor's Gift", When asking the female Inquisitor what tribe she's from, he tells her he still remembers them to this day. Also another Wolf Lord found out that an large band of Trolls were rampaging through his former clans homeland killing his people and he went there to fight with them
Argel Tal also remembered his sisters and mother
I've read somewhere that some Salamanders chapters don't fully memory wipe their astartes either, they're allowed to remember who their parents are
AFAIK it's only the Grey Knights?
@@Zaketh_ Salamanders still interact with their families even when Space Marines, they visit them and stuff IIRC, its in part why they are the most 'human' of Space Marine chapters and value human life. Blood Angels also don't have their minds wiped, even Dante who is nearly 1500 years old still remembers himself as a boy. The rituals and processes of how each chapter creates new marines varies a lot chapter to chapter.
The only chapter I can think of that actively mind wipes there recruits is the Dark Angels. If they did actively mind wipe recruits then a large portion of the Heresy wouldn’t of happened. But one important thing to mention is that there is a heavy amount on mental indoctrination with modern Space Marines. The Imperium doesn’t want another Rebellion of marines but mind wiping every recruit is a bit to much effort with to little reward.
The marine lost his hand because he fired his own plasma pistol inside the orb which created explosive backfire.

i like how mechanical/pragmatic they are, if that makes sense. every action they take, every single step is one closer to their objective. and that is all there is to them.
At 4:39 look closely at the sniper who's killed. That wasn't some random Astarte' that killed him. That's one of the guys he was shooting at. That's how fast they're.
Just casually sprints through a corridor with a literal ton of weight on his body, within 2 seconds to get a sniper than doesnt even damage their armor in the slightest.
I think that tactically he was moving in the shadows parallel to his unit.
is it tho? We see 3 astartes running through corridor. Not 5. 2 got shot at and 1 stopped. Where the last 2? It's more likely, that they split up. 3 run through corridor, 1 goes to kill that gunner and another is doing some covering.
I'm pretty sure that the location represented at the end of the film is the Astronomican, or rather its warp-side presence. It is a bright pillar of golden light created by corpses on thrones. My assumption is that the Emperor intervened to break the hold of the warp entity that trapped the marines, dragging at least one of them to a safe place within the warp. The multiple skeletons represent the fragmentation of the Emperor's psyche within the warp, or maybe the only way that a human can perceive the Emperor's presence within the warp.
That makes alot of sense I didn't even think of the emperor intervening like that

Making the stronger by sharing their power and able to react to each others actions better.

Hey man. Not only entertaining but also very well explained. I've been a fan of the lore for over 20 years and you still managed to point out things I missed.
A thing to highlight is that a lot of the stuff in this story is very interpretative. The creator made it ambiguous on purpose because that's part of thhe 40k appeal: The questions withot answers and the stuff that stands out and leads to more questions.
Imagine this being the Mariana Trench on Terra. But a far far future terra. One after a certain fail safe was implemented
A Memento Mori for the long lost Emperor of the Golden Throne perhaps.
I Love how astartes basicly Shirts from science fiction to science fantas to cosmic lovecraftian horror
Welcome to the Grimm Dark. :)
Thank you so much for making this video! This was my first ever introduction to the lore of 40k. I've been continuing to learn more and more about the verse, and I wanted to come back and thank you.
Basic, simple and laymen terms for ease of explanation. Good job.
The orbs I think arch did a good job point out what they are.
"Wouldn't that hurt?" "Why would you care?" I love it.
They don't have it chained up to tickle it, after all.
That last scene after going through the warp is definitely inspired by, one of Zdzisław Beksiński's pieces. I'm not accusing this amazing CGI artist of stealing, just pointing out an amazing inspiration made manifest.
The massive skeletal canyon looks heavily inspired by the work of Zdzisław Beksiński. Certainly fitting for a hellish landscape.
This was exactly what i was looking for, thanks! I completely missed the dialogue between the orbs when i watched it first!
The orbs were most likely Umbra - a Xenos species The devices the Astartes stabbed the orb with were most likely not communication devices, but more likely psychic suppressors - they just were not strong enough The Inquisitor threaded extremely dangerous grounds...only an Inquisitorian Psycher would have been skilled and strong enough to try this task Although he got overwhelmed when the two Umbra conjuncted Nonetheless its highly likely the entity that did disrupt the warp entities (all likely Umbra) was the spirit of the Inquisitor - sacrificing himself to intervene The Emporer protects!
The only thing that would have me think it may be the C'Tan and not the Umbra is the ending. What do the Umbra have to do with a structure littered with giant, dead humanoid figures?
@@adrikubel the umbra are orbs whjch are incredibly psyonically gifted They manipulate the warp so why would it be surprising that they teleport beings through the warp? Ctan are...possible...but ctan are just shards (form can differentiate of course) but ctan shards are MUCH more powerful than those orbs...
Imo the dark stuff could be the remnants of the aura after the psyker died. But you can see the marine trying to get his bearings he looks at his hands, looks around and suddenly the black stuff disappears and the entity is visible and it is instsntly shot. So imo it was one of the marines that shot it. They can be that fast and accurate and they never give up
Having just finished "the hunt for voldorius" it occurs to me that the orbs seen are something similar to the prison cell of the bloodtide, and that there is something a whole lot worse inside of it
I think the orb is old Yu'Vath tech used as a portal to the warp. Also why the praying guy ( inquisitor ) got killed is because a possessed psyker can not only kill you and everyone else in your party, but the entire ship, depending on the psykers powers. Demons can use their full potential. If an inquisitor suspects that there may be a possessed person on a planet, they may decide to destroy the entire city och even end all life on the planet just to neutralize the threat. And he doesnt say take the alpha. Its "who is here* -*i have failed* -*brother, we have all failed, the astartes deny our touch. You must return, break your seal* -*Impossible!* -*we'll never survive* -*we'll never die* -*you must. Take them
yo dude, i watched this video a year ago after watching astartes for the first time and having no idea what was going on. this video intrigued me and i wanted to learn more about this 40k. a year later, i own a blood angels army with a homebrew guard regiment on the way. thank you so much dude for letting me experience this insanely cool universe. peace
Very cool, now go go burn some heretics. FOR THE EMPEROR!!!
@@thall187 FOR THE EMPEROR! FOR THE BLOOD!!
I've never read or played 40K, but the lore seems to be fascinating. I have a new thing to geek out about so, that's awesome.
Oh the lore is insanely large.
The best way to describe WH40k Bolter that it is Gyrojet. - This type of weapon was already invented and in fact tried out in Vietnam War. Alas, technology was not that advanced to perfect it and the military deemed it not worth to spend time and money to improve. When it worked, it gave insane results (reporting that gyrojet used by SOG group was able to punch through treelines and hit the enemies in ambush behind solid objects that normal 5.56 round would not penetrate and the size of the weapon was even smaller than m16). Most of them got sold to civilian world, but eventually Destructive Device law came into effect, so Gyrojet became coveted rarity today.
i remember reading about that somewhere thanks for the info :)
40k bolter shoots 40mm gyrojets with thermonuclear warheads.
gyro jet with a conventional first stage
@@Thaidory since when are they nuclear?
as someone who doesn't know anything about 40k and have only watched this 5 part series, this video was so helpful on wtf is actually going on, i appreciate if so much!
Your very welcome
Wow, this is fantastic! I've seen that WH40k video many times, and it was always as awesome as it was confusing. But this video was highly illuminating. It resolved so many things I didn't know, and didn't even notice. Now that video is better than ever. Thank you so much for making this.
for clarification: a Bolter round is basically a .50 (12.7mm) self-propelled, recoilless HEAP shell. hence those things make a huge mess. it can, by modern days, be compared to the FRAG-12 round, or the respective variant for the AA-12, which is basically a Bolter with that kind of ammo
Astartes Bolt rounds are .75 caliber, the .50 caliber ones are what humans lucky enough to have a Boltgun use. There are also .998 caliber Bolt rounds.
the human scale bolter would be .50 cal, the astartes one 2 -3 times larger caliber imo.
I think the Orbs are basically the physical manifestation of the Umbra. This weird alien species that appear as black Spheres to a normal eye and were somehow, somewhat related to the Warp itself.
I don’t think the chapters wipe the memories of aspirants. Several Black Library books about Astartes have them remembering their childhood, the Nightlords Omnibus is a good example. The main character constantly references his childhood on Nostromo, and growing up with Zarl.
Grey Knights do, but the only 1 I know of that do so.
@@Ralgimanek well, anything touched by Ward….. am I right?
There is likely a servitor in each defense pod
I liked the video, you did a great job. In addition to your explanation I think you should have closed with talking about why he threw up blood exiting the warp, and the service studs on his brow. Small things that need explanation for newcomers to WH40K and easy to hit. Anyways, as I said, great breakdown of this amazing short. Syama Pedersen (the creator of this short for anyone else reading this who is new) is an amazing animator.
I have no idea what I just watched, but it's bad ass! Thanks for the breakdown
Regarding the 'shot' which seems to hit (destroy?) the tentacled Warp entity: I've always wondered if the shot is meant to be understood as coming from the plasma pistol, which the lead Astartes managed to get inside the orb before firing. The pistol exploded and destroyed his hand, but may have still fired its plasma into the warpspace, right at the entity in its vulnerable state. Regarding the end: it's definitely not a different galaxy, at least, as 40K lore is clear that the Milky Way's Immaterium is disconnected from any other warpspace which may or may not exist in other galaxies.
another comment was theorizing it was the psyker/inquisitors spirit after he was possessed by the captured orb.
This made this experience so much better. Thank you
I come back to watch this frequently. My goodness the animation is fantastic. I catch something new each time. Its absolutely insane this was done by a single person
1:25 not in the vast majority of cases. Many chapters do not practice mind wiping at all for example Salamanders and Space Wolves.
I think it's pretty established that some variance is a accepted but the general really clearly defined rule is that all aspirants under go extreme mental conditioning or indoctrination to facilitate higher acceptance rates of the more demanding aspects of becoming a full Astarte. Some ofcourse go full off the wall warrior priest been little more then human supremacist zealots looking at you Black Templars! The two chapters you brought up are the extreme edge cases the Salamanders actively support their members retaining blood relations or even families as they believe it makes them better at protecting the Emperors great works. While the Space Wolves have a much different belief system around psycho conditioning and especially Librarians that doesn't align with moving away from your roots or tribalism. They instead where possible harness it and just that competition as an edge. That said they also try to get drunk sooooopp yeah....... 😅
@DanielVisOneCade well Salamanders even have Astaetes living within their family members communities. - totally unheard of in other chapters. It's like being taken as 10 year old to be space marine and then one day come back to your town "Hey Mom and Dad! I am home on leave, except I became 8 ft tall giant with pure muscle mass and extra organs, looking like mix of human and medieval draft horse".
Just wanted to add, he says when explaining the warp, lesser satans. That is not true about all of them. In other lore there are things about other powerful warp entities that could challenge or defeat them. That’s why chaos does not control the whole warp and the parts it does is due to the chaos in the galaxy. If chaos and what supports them lessens or fades so will their power. Hope this clarifies a bit
I love this vid. Must be easily 10th or even 20th rewatch at the least. For some reason your explanation of it is very soothing when I'm working or gaming. Cheers bro.
Dude, I have watched this video multiple times and it never gets old. Great breakdown of this small piece of the Warhammer 40k universe. Kudos.
As someone who has no idea about war hammer or 40k, my mind is blown, I see why people like it. Lore is deep.
I have a totally different take on this and here it goes. I believe the Astartes who ended up where he did was marked out by chaos. Notice how an automaton loses his right eye in battle, the astartes his right arm. Notice the psyker with a functional left eye damages the eye portion mirroring that on the Astartes. After the conflict all the Marines strides are fluid yet one drags his foot generating sparks unlike the others. And one had the will to get his weapon into the orb. I believe even though the chaos demons communicating "failed" one found an interesting opportunity with a potential champion. Also I believe when he approached the orb, the demon seemed to appear to him.
okay, i like Colby Heyrend's theory more than yours you evil evil heretic scum corrupting our happy happy joy joy fan theories
They were all transported there in the end.
@@zippo718 None ended up where he did, and they were all grasped by the warp entity. They could have ended up elsewhere easily.
@@DetroitTyler They're all transported to the other pillars in the final shot. Small flashes of light.
@@DetroitTylerYou need to rewatch and see the others materialise to the beat of the music, on top of the pillars in the distance. Boom flash ... Boom flash like that.
That was really clear and interesting. I definitely missed a lot of what you said in the video. Thank you so much!
Re: The possessed psyker being a danger, there's also the fact that any possessed human can become a gateway to the warp. They HAD to destroy him, or else risk legions of demons pouring through.
I thought the answer to who the good guy in 40k is was "No"
Well, unless youre in a giant red mecha and are currently jumping face first into an enemy space ship with your gigantic vampire sword. Then you are the good guy. And you smell like old fish.
Definitely a hard 'Yes'. But also you are 100% correct. It's also a hard 'No.'
Tau?
@@midorian12491 They were, till GW gave into the actual Neonazis in the fanbase, who cried and pissed themselfes about Tau being actual decent people in 40k. So now they are retconned into "oh, they all got minsrped by Etherials, who are all ehheeeviil". So yea, Tau are not good anymore.
Good job buddy, this earned you a sub. Keep up the good work.
Awesome, thank you!
To me, the ethereal organ vibes and the serenity they portray mean that this place, whatever it is, has something to do with the Emperor. If its either in the warp or inside the Emperor's own mind, I dont know but that is the gut feeling I am getting.
Thanks for making this detailed video. I just came across the full merged episodes made into a short film an hour ago. By god, I can’t believe I’m now finding out about WarHammer 40k and just became a fan. Can’t wait to dive into HOURS of lore about these guys. Also found another movie called ultramarines today, was a great watch as well!
God damn ,this is pure exellency. Please make a movie that uses many of the same elements
You missed a few details. The orb says" you must take them", referring to the strike team. At the end, if you pay attention to the other platforms, you can see other flashes of light, meaning the other marines got teleported as well. Also, the dots on the marines forehead.
this helped me because I know next to nothing about 40k, just a few key things like what the warp is (and even that i'm sure I can never be 100% certain about) my brother knows a ton and he's the person that showed me the animation. Amazing vid!
I think the thing that shot the big bad may have been the main space marines plasma pistol. He fired it while it was half consumed...the gun exploded and blew up his arm yes...but it may have still fired a plasma burst in the warp as well.
This should be a series and is a stupendous idea until we realize the demand for an explain video for Emperor had Text to Speech (😅)
Great video, I don't play the games but am fascinated by the stories and backgrounds so this video explains a lot.
More like "If you're wondering who the good guys are in 40K, the answer is annoyingly: Nobody."
“There is only ONE rule in war,and you know what that rule is.” “Vae Victis,” I muttered. “It’s all I ever got.”
Loosely translated as "sucks to be you, loser."
The giant golden statue guy is one of the Men of Iron. Also, he is most definitely in the warp at the end. The arrangement of the many dead lords on thrones suggests specific placement and not simply old ruins. It's a place of worship for sure, but not in our reality.
I've been checking out a lot of 40k stuff recently and this was one of the best in my opinion. I know you maybe didn't make this animation but the context to it was perfect for newb like me. - what is this footage from btw?
Thank you friend. I got an idea of who is who, but didn't wanna ask outright because it should be super obvious to owners of actual lore books
You probably heard this already but your explanation was awesome I've been trying to get into 40K and this video is helping
Surprised you didn't mention the likely age and years of service the last marine had because of the forehead studs.
I did but in editing i cut it out. Was trying to keep the video as short as possible. Originally the video was 45 minutes long.
I never caught on to the fact there was an impact as you said at 16:55. Great catch, thanks for the explanation. Pretty new to Warhammer since I just played Space Marine. Thanks!
Good thing someone's out there reuploading Kullivars videos.
Well thats because we all are Kullivar :D.
@@thall187 "I'm Kullivar" "No I'm Kullivar" kzhead.info/sun/ea98nd2ho5yBomg/bejne.html
this video deserves a follow or second part where we get to follow them ib this hellish place
@Thall who is the "alpha" the orb spoke of? and when you said to rewind to see where the orb was shot again, what time did it happen? thx for the vid, as a casual it helped, ALOT lol.
Peter Popoff in an Ironman suit. That’s an Astartes.
I thought this was simply a repost of another video that saw before, but then I couldn't find any trace of the original video. Could this be from the same person that posted the original and if so, then what happened?
Yep that's him, restarting his KZhead career
He is being sarcastic Four Shadowing.
The original one got snacked from GW and is presented on their own streaming service ._.
LONG LIVE THE EMPEROR’S LIGHT!
At the end where it zooms out after he pukes, you can see small flashes on the other "pillars" in the distance of the other retributers teleporting in. Each small flash lined up with the drums of the soundtrack. Neat detail~
I have no idea about anything of 40k. But it looks so damn cool
sadly they never produced a sequel to this one, as far as I know.
We might not have any idea, but you can atleast speculate based off all the multiple throne like chairs and withered bodies, it might have something to do with the emperor.
